The fifth sense of a protein: Quinary interactions in SOD1
The interior of living cells is an eXtremely crowded environment, with a large part of the volume being occupied by diverse macromolecules. For a protein it is like to move in a suburban train at rush hour! However, how this crowding affects the life of a protein, in particular its stability, is still unknown. The group of our collaborator (S. Ebbinghaus at the TU in Braunschweig, Germany) using rapid laser-induced temperature jumps, showed that weak transient interactions with the surrounding macromolecules, often referred to as quinary interactions (aka the fifth order of structural organization of a protein), can indeed amplify and even reverse the stability response of proteins to single-point mutations. By performing innovative multi-scale molecular simulations we shed light on the microscopic origin of those interactions, providing a possible explanation of the experimentally observed stability effects. Together, the results highlight the importance of considering weak transient interactions with the intracellular environment when investigating the relationship between stability and function in vivo as well as possible pathogenic misfolding and aggregation paths. The work is published in JACS, see here.

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Afrid Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity

Yes he is! I thank him so much so i will advise if you are suffering from one of those diseases please do contact him he's a nice man.
